MY INTERESTS:
I would like to trace my relationship to General Paulino Navarro Serrano. My mother referred to her “Tía Mercedes Serrano” who was the mother of General Paulino Navarro after whom the City of Autlán de la Grana was renamed. My mother had Paulino Navarro’s Sunday hat, white with the initials “PN” in braided gold. She also had several photographs of the general as a young man and soldier and as a general. My sister gave the hat to the museum in El Grullo, Jalisco, part of the municipality of Autlán de Navarro, where the general was born. I attach a brief biography of General Paulino Navarro. Navarro died in a battle where he was sent under the command of General Lázaro Cárdenas, who became President of Mexico and nationalized the foreign oil interests in 1938.
AUTLÁN DE NAVARRO [from Official web site of the city]
“De Navarro" le fue impuesto por el Congreso del Estado el 19 de julio de 1939 en honor del maestro y general Paulino Navarro, oriundo de este municipio, quién murió el 23 de diciembre de 1923, en defensa de las instituciones de la República
By decree number 4562, published the 27 of July of 1939, the city of Autlán of Grana would take the name of Autlán of Navarro in memory of General Navarro, native of Autlán de la Grana and teacher in this municipality, who died the 23 of December of 1923 in defense of the institutions of the Republic.
GENERAL PAULINO NAVARRO SERRANO [from Official web site of the city of Autlán de Navarro]
Born 1892 in El Grullo, part of Autlán de Navarro
Parents
Father: Norberto Navarro
Mother Mercedes Serrano, my mother’s aunt.
My grandmother Celsa Barragán Serrano might have been the sister of Mercedes Serrano, both being the daughters of Soledad Serrano. Thus Paulino Navarro would have been my mother’s cousin. What would General Paulino Navarro Serrano have been to me in relationship?
General Paulino Navarro Serrano (1892-1923)
Maestro y soldado de la revolución [from the Official web site of the city of Autlán de Navarro]
Hijo de Norberto Navarro y Mercedes Serrano.
Nació en Autlán en 1892 donde curso la instrucción primaria. De cuna humilde, trabajó como mozo en la casa del Dr. Alfredo Uribe donde se separó para ayudar a su hermana Lucía en sus labores como maestra en el Instituto del padre Manuel C. Silva, dedicándose los sábados y domingos a la zapatería.
Luego fue maestro en el propio instituto, pasando enseguida también como maestro a la escuela oficial de la que era directora la maestra María Mares.
Posteriormente partió a Cuautitlán, continuando en el magisterio; de ahí se trasladó a Colima, cursando la carrera de maestro normalista en la escuela “Porfirio Díaz”, donde se titula, pero estando allá, abraza la carrera de las armas, sentando plaza como pagador del regimiento.
Cuando la lucha revolucionaria se ubicó en el norte del país a Marcelino García Barragán, quien militaba en las filas de Maclovio Herrera, enviándolo al Colegio Militar. En Ciudad Juárez funge como gente del servicio aduanal y entre tanto ganaba ascensos y ya era Brigadier, siendo destinado a la ciudad de México como Comandante Militar de la Plaza.
Habiendo estallado la rebelión “delahuertista”, es enviado a Jalisco bajo las órdenes del Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas a combatir la infidencia encabezada por el Jefe de las Operaciones Militares en el Estado, Gral. Enrique Estrada.
Con una fuerza inferior numéricamente hablando, las fuerzas leales traban combate con las rebeldes al mando del general Rafael Buelna en el puertecito de Huejotitlán, cerca de Teocuitatlán, en cuya acción muere heroicamente el General Navarro, al saltar un nido de ametralladoras enemigas, el 23 de diciembre de 1923.
En su honor al haber muerto en defensa del gobierno legalmente constituido, el otrora Autlán de la Grana, desde el Decreto del Honorable Congreso del Estado de Jalisco del 19 de julio de 1939, ostenta el nombre de Autlán de Navarro.
